We had a good attendance yesterday at the "Growing and Using Herbs" workshop. Our instructor, Anna Marie Beauchemin, is extremely knowledgeable and gave a lovely Power Point presentation on the medicinal and culinary uses of herbs, as well as advice on which herbs are pollinator friendly. We made a super easy vinegar with fresh herbs, and everyone got to take home a jar.

Marian told the class advantages of starting seeds in trays, using non-treated, non GMO seeds, how to interpret seed packets, when to plant, what grow well together, how the seed industry has evolved, and so much more.
